Who is your 2008 candidate? Take the quiz to see who aligns most with your views.

Takes about 1-2 minutes.

Having trouble deciding who to vote for in 2008? This will compare your answers with ALL candidates. I found this to be of interest .... It did not select the candidate I had expected! Of even more interest was which were way down the list - and why..

1. This is the second poll of this kind and it's Kucinich again for me
No surprise there! Gravel 3rd in this one, second in the other one.

2. The only surprise: Dodd ties Kucinich for me.
But the quiz is flawed, especially regards immigration: there was no option for open borders.

3. I agree
But most of the questuions in polls are flawed. I'm a Gallup member and wonder sometimes haw they decide how to word questions. In this poll half of the questions did not have a choice i really liked.

5. Kucinich 1st, Dodd 2nd, and Edwards 3rd.
Not unexpected, although I should look into Dodd more.

6. Tied Clinton and Obama, with Dodd and Kucinich 1 point behind.
On the flip side, McCain and Thompson each score only 1 point and come in dead last.

8. I got Chris Dodd (38), followed by Kucinich and Edwards (32)
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 12:27 PM by PeterU
Another "choose your candidate" had me picking Kucinich. That one seemed to be a little more in depth.

Jim Gilmore (5), who I didn't even know was running, is my least compatible choice. Tom "Bomb Mecca" Tancredo (6) was my next-to-last choice, which sounds about right. That guy is nuttier than a Payday candy bar.

A little bit of a surprise--Sam Brownback (18!?!?)is my highest Republican choice, followed by Ron Paul (16).

10. Kucinich
I did think that the way some of the questions were written was somewhat leading.

12. Went about as I expected.
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 12:51 PM by mmonk
1. Kucinich-no disagreements
2. Dodd-2 disagreements
3. Gravel-3 disagreements
4. Clinton-3 disagreements
4. Richardson-3 disagreements (tie with HRC)

My top 4 in order of finish. Kucinich beat 2nd place Dodd by 6 points.

13. This poll gave me 89.83% compatability with Kucinich
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 12:38 PM by PeterU
http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html

Tancredo and Hunter bottomed out at 6.78% compatability each.

I had a 76.72% match with Hillary, 69.49% with Dodd and Edwards.

Ron Paul was the highest Republican for me with 47.46%, and then it dropped down significantly to John Cox at 27.12% (whoever the hell John Cox is).

19. SURPRISE! DK first, Dodd second, Gravel third, Edwards fourth
The real surprise for me is that Dodd scored so high on the list. I don't like the guy.

I got a 49, btw, for DK.

21. I agree most with Kucinich
I might vote for him in the primaries. I don't think he can win the presidency.

23. DK first, then Richardson, Gravel and Edwards.
Not really a surprise. Out of the front runners, I favor Edwards by a lot.
